Vision Source and our office is proud to play a leading role in global efforts to bring sight and hope to people who are blind or vision impaired simply because they can’t access eye examinations and glasses.We do this through our support of Optometry Giving Sight, a 501(c)(3) public charity that funds sustainable eye and vision care projects in undeserved communities throughout the world.

Optometry Giving Sight was named the official ‘International Charity of Choice’ of the Vision Source network in early 2006. Since then, Vision Source doctors, staff, and employees have raised almost $2 million for projects that are helping to transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in need.

Optometry Giving Sight is a global fundraising initiative that specifically targets the prevention of blindness and impaired vision due to uncorrected refractive error (i.e. the need for an eye exam and a pair of glasses). More than 600 million people around the world are blind or vision impaired because they do not have access to the eye examination and glasses they need.
